Role in series

"The Camping Episode"

A sea bear is the main antagonist of this episode.

Squidward did not believe in the sea bear's existence before he was attacked by one in this episode. However, SpongeBob and Patrick are fervent believers, having read about them in the Bikini Bottom Inquirer and Fake Science Monthly, which are both tabloid magazines. The sound of a sea bear attack also attracts the sea rhinoceros.
